Visiting a National Park can be relaxing, inspiring, but it can also be disturbing. As you drive into Rocky Mountain National Park, and you will see starving elk, damaged meadows and dying forests. Our parks are growing old because we have mistakenly protected them from natural processes, such as fire, predation, and insects. We believed that we were saving these remnants of wild America, but actually we have "protected" them to death. If we want to save our National Parks, the National Park Service must change its management priorities to prevent over population of animals and to restore natural process in the forest in order to prevent their stagnation and "death" by old age. We must act soon: our parks are dying of old age because we have altered the forces in nature that keep them young and strong.
By tracing the history of our National Parks, we can understand the problem and see why we need active management. In the early part of the 20th century, settlers exploited wildlife heavily, resulting in neat-extinction of many species. Therefore, several National Parks were established by Congress primarily to save endangered animals. However, stricter wildlife protection laws and improved wildlife management techniques resulted in greater populations of animals overcrowding in areas of high concentration, such as the Yellowstone elk herds. Complicating the problem, the National Park Service in the early part of the 20th century adopted a policy of aggressive predator elimination, thus reducing natural wildlife population control. Subsequently, elk and deer populations exploded in many National Parks, resulting in severe damage to native vegetation. Vigorous forest fire and insect suppression in the National Parks through out the 20th century further altered the natural environment by allowing forests t6 over-mature, without natural thinning processes. Park managers thought that they were protecting the land, but actually they were removing important controls from the forest ecosystems.
Clearly, we must act immediately if we want to pass down to our children and grandchildren the green legacy of our National Parks: we must step in and restore the natural processes which we have altered through our well-intentioned, but misguided, policies in the past. [br] From the article, we can deduce that the author ______.
选项
A、is in support of the present policies
B、appreciates the present management techniques
C、thinks that the forces in nature should be altered
D、is strongly in favor of the natural processes
答案
D
解析
A(支持现在的政策)、B(赞赏现在的管理技术)、C(认为自然力量应被改变)都恰与作者的观点相反。作者支持的是自然进化。所以D是正确答案。
